Realistic Robot Hand Handles Sushi Like a Pro

[güttsfükk]

It can’t make sushi yet, but a human-like robotic hand developed by Kyoto-based factory automation firm Squse is dexterous enough to handle it like a pro.

The fleshy robot hand, which weighs 340 grams and consists of soft silicone skin stretched over a polycarbonate skeleton, has 22 pneumatically-powered artificial muscles that enable it to bend its fingers like a human hand. The robot can perform 20 different moves, ranging from a delicate two-finger pinch to a full-hand squeeze.

According to Squse, the robot’s delicate grip makes it suitable for a variety of manual labor jobs that require a human touch, such as handling parts in the factory, packing food, or even harvesting crops on the farm. The hand might also be used as a prosthetic limb, say the developers.

I see that as the next teledildonic sex peripheral. Just put girly nails on it and you have the awesomest handjob machine in history.

Thank you for teaching me what teledildonics was. I just got done reading the wiki on it. Interesting stuff
